| Bladerunner Film Soundtrack Most of the releases have the bit of dialog in it with the most but it is not distracting. The "Tears in the Rain" dialog is important IMHO so I like it in this case. The version you should seek out is the Audio Fidelity CD/SACD or the Audio Fide... | |
| Washington Post article on MoFi vs. Fremer vs. Esposito What really hacks most of these folks off is at the end of the day they could not hear the source tapes went from Analog to DSD to Analog to Lathe. For all the videos from these dudes who claim they just know when digital is used apparently they w... | |
| New High End Audio Dealer in Midwest Great to read about your new store. Best of luck. My systems have more or less been purchased from a boutique shops and is currently heavily Linn centric. Small speciality dealers are the only why to fly. I got into Hi-Fi in my late middle school ... | |
| Best Sound Track Ever Vote for One I go back and forth between 1 & 2. Both are very strong. Also added #3 as an honorable mention. It is very good. 1. Interstellar - Hans Zimmer 2 . Blade Runner - Vangelis 3. Solaris - Cliff Martinez | |
| Help I am clearly biased with the selections I will provided but in all honesty I had been on the gear merry go round for years. While I have the Linn Selekt DSM and an almost full spec LP12 these could be a good way into the world of Linn. BTW, any LP... | |
| Is $2,844 too much to pay for a fuse? I bought a NOS fuse on a lark from NASA that is said to have been spares for the Apollo 14 mission. Not sure if it was used on a mission or was just left over but it was sourced from Cape Canaveral. Put in it in a McIntosh amp. Really added more s... | |
| Pink Floyd in 24/192 I have scene these but have not tried them as of yet. I have the SACD for DSOTM (both the original release & the resent Acoustic Sounds) and Wish you Where Here. There is supposed to be a Acoustic Sounds SACD release of Animals but Rodger and ... | |
| Transparrent Ref XL vs Opus I can attest the move from Gen 5 Super to Gen 6 Ultra in speaker and interconnects was indeed startling. It was as if my system could go magically lower in frequency response than it had before. The weight of the bottom notes was more present than... | |
| Selling gear with TMR I have sold a number of units to them over the years and the experience has always been very good. You get an offer Accept or decline If you accept they will send you shipping labels Ideally you have the boxes so pack it up an put the labels... | |
| recommended speaker cables and interconnects Since I am a Transparent user look at the following depending on budget Transparent Music Wave Plus $$ Transparent Music Wave Super $$$ Transparent Music Wave Ultra $$$$ After Ultra it might be the point of diminishing returns. I current... | |
| Does Formula 1 racing and high end audio go together for anyone else? Yes - F1 fan and support McLaren overall. That being said happy to see the front of the grid with the Ferrari's and Red Bull's battling it out. The mid field is also interesting and this past weekend showed how the new regs seems to have brought a... | |
| What is the best speaker cable for Wilson Sabrina X? @mawashi I own and use Transparent Ultra through an Linn based system with Dynaudio Special 25's. That being said, every time I have listened to a Wilson speakers it was with Transparent cable and they do have a good synergy. I would offer that... | |
| AKM makes the best DACs @erik_squires - 100% agree with AKM having the best DACS followed by Burr Brown. Also 100% agree that there is more to the chip itself but the design of the circuit and analog output stage. I have Linn gear and the AKMs are present and very happy ... | |
| How many turntables have you owned? Technically 4 Zenith Mini Wedge - (first system in bedroom when I was a kid) - late 70s Dual 508 - (part of my first proper separates system) - early 80s Denon DP35F - (first upgrade) - mid 80s Linn LP12 - (bought in 2019 and is now almost f... | |
| Help.... I'm scared to 'upgrade'! My advice is if you like it - stick with it and skip the upgrade. I recently made a mistake purchasing a very expensive car and have found I like my 14yo car with 200k miles on it much better. So much so that I am selling the new car back to the ... |
